Yea Mickey and Martin leaving early hurt us.

Congrats

Ok man Johnny did absolutely nothing to get Ben Simmons. Patrick hired himself. Ben and his dad trusted Patrick enough to let their 100 million dollar son play for any head coach without talking to him and feeling comfortable that he was in good hands. You win man.

No Johnny Jones no Patrick

FIFY

Johnny brought Simmons here. He sold him on LSU and used LSU notable alumni to reel him in. He also hired Patrick. No Johnny no Ben Simmons. Your point is?

Yea in hindsight we should have looked at those players but you recruit and extend offers to the best talent. We were close on both Magee and Newman.

The answer is Vandy will struggle if they go pro. They will not finish in the top 4 in the SEC next year guaranteesd It's great that Johnny was able to piece a competitive roster together after your whole front court leaves early for the NBA. One of those front court players that was brought in misses a significant piece of your non conference schedule. If he would have been eligible from jump we would be in the tournament right now. They have one of the best point guards coming in next year in recent LSU memory in Skylar Mays. They recruited Dominic Magee and were close to getting Malik Newman. You win some battles you lose some battles. They will have depth next year with Mays and a healthy experienced Patterson backing him up.

It is that he is a great recruiter that is building a program that lost two players who were early entrants to the NBA. Only other school that can say that is Kentucky and It takes time to build the type of depth that can handle that type of turnover. I am confident that he is getting there. Vanderbilt has two players projected to go in the first round next year. If they leave do you think Vandy will be back in the tournament next year?

^ Says the man who resorts to name calling because another man has a different opinion on a sports forum. Sounds like a person with the mental maturity of a 10 year old. You sir are the actual moron. Or should i say that you are special? I think special sounds better.

No just saying that Scotlandville has a lot of talent so why not offer him when you needed numbers at the time. He comes from an LSU basketball bloodline and is get a good representative locally for the university. Something that was sorely missed during the Trent regime.
